Planning for a breach is as important as trying to prevent a breach. Again this is as important for a midsize firm as it is for a large firm. In fact many security experts say that midsize firms are more of a target than some of the larger organizations. So again, not to be a scaremonger, but you should be planning this for your company right now. Again there are 3 rd parties who can really help with this. IBM and their partners have lots of options. But there are plenty of resources available on the web that you can use to craft your own plan as well. Don’t let budget stand in the way of your preparedness.

So if you think POS breaches are something that just large retailers need to worry about think again. It seems like this BlackPOS is some new Trojan/remote control malware that is infecting POS systems, giving criminals the ability to steal your customer’s data every time you swipe their credit card. Worse even, it seems that this malware can give the bad guys the ability to also gain access to your databases where your customer information is kept. This malware has been called BlackPOS in various reports.

If your company is the victim of a breach, follow best practices to inform and most importantly protect your customers.

Carl and Billy have a lot of experience in this area. Both guys worked at Citadel Security, makers of the Hercules Patch management solution. Carl was the CTO there.
